We lost another member of the Highwaymen yesterday, September 28, 2024. Kris Kristofferson passed away at his home in Maui Hawaii. He Joins Johnny Cash and Wayland Jennings leaving only the great Willie Nelson to carry on the wonderful music talent we've all enjoyed throughout the years. These are great men with exceptional talent who live in our hearts and minds forever. RIP Kris, Johnny and Wayland and thanks for the memories!!
It's really amazing that so much talent and masterful songwriting, singing, and production can be combined into one 3-minute song, even if you were unaware that all four lead singers are legends in their own right, and already were by the mid-80s when this was released.
I have had cancer .And i told my wife that this is the song i want to be played , when I pass on . Lucky for me that was 7 years ago and I'm still around and around. 3:22
Johnny's line always gives me a chill.... "and when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can - perhaps I will become a Highwayman again. Or I may simply be a single drop of rain... but I will remain and I'll be back again". Damn.
I lost my dad in March. I so so hope he is still around. I miss him endlessly. He had a life long passion for Country. Dolly, George Willie, Johnny and Merle his favourites
Have listed to this song about 1,000 this past month and I can’t skip beginning middle or end, rarely do I like a song that much. When I here Cash’ part makes me want to hope on my motorcycle and just fly.
The Highwaymen, four of the greatest singers of all time. The very best of the best. We've lost them all except Willie. Keep the tunes coming Willie, we love you dearly. Johnny, Waylon & Kris are now playing & singing for a higher power. We love y'all & miss y'all. Thanks for all the great music & The movie "Stagecoach" an awesome movie & some awesome acting! 😔
The way johnny cash says " and again and again and again" with a slight sly smile on fis face is so ominously beautiful. Its like he already knows he will never truly leave us, even in death
My dad was in the Vietnam war. He was in the Navy; Later he became a truck driver and had me. I listened to this song when I was 3 or 4 inside his 18 wheeler.... I miss him so much... This song will always be in my heart.
This song was played at my Papa’s funeral. He was a trucker all his life, and often said the likes of Willie and Johnny made his long days driving that little bit easier. When he passed of cancer in 2017, I couldn’t listen this song. Now I come here to listen to this song when I need to feel closer to him. One of the best masterpieces ever written. “Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain and I’ll be back again”.
Such a powerful message in one little sentence. I get it, it's part of our beliefs. Bit still, it's a majestic writing, on the part of the writer. (Can't remember who wrote it now, but it wasn't the Highwaymen). Not to take anything away from theor performance. Incredible. I get shivers each time I hear this, or watching it - I get memories,,emotional feelings about my late grandfather, rushing back.
I feel you brother. Some of the people I was closest too listening when this album came out,, are no longer here. Much like The Highway Men themselves.
He will be back again, and again...My dad introduced me to this music, and I fell for it, even though we are germans. He now suffers from cancer. And soon he will fly a starship to the universe. But they will always be back again, will always be on our side.
Mine died in my arms at the age of 94 July 2nd 2024. He was the most intelligent and wisest man I knew. 2 days later I was napping on the couch at 10 am sleep deprived. He came to me in my dream the house was as it really is and he was only in his shorts like he used to be while reading in the living room. I remember it like it was so real I stammered “how you died” he hugged me and told me “it’s okay Keir everything’s okay” Then I woke up but I wasn’t surprised or astounded I just accepted that everything is okay and life is how it should be.
I was a TH-camr...but I couldn't get any views...I even tried to break the news...I stuttered words from a script that I read; my last subscriber was only in my head...I finally did a conspiracy video..they banned me long ago...but I'll always be a troll, be a troll, be a troll, be a troll....
'...they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound...' Waylon's voice truly captures the haunting depth of those words. Hands down my fav verse.
Da Wa Bruh I deadass read this as he said “they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound” btw your opinion is so right Waylon’s voice soothes song like a baby
This verse may have been what attached me to this song for the rest of this life. I just love the visual, historical storytelling patched into a metaphysical shared lifecycle of reincarnation.
My dad was born in 78, i was born in 96 and we were drinking and sang this song word for word and I couldn't help but shed a tear. This song is beautiful.
@@vaughnl70 I grew up with Johnny Cash. Our household had a lot of different music. Johnny was right beside Dionne Warwick , the Supremes and Chet Atkins and Hank Snow were played right after Stevie Wonder et Al lol
I know it’s silly and I don’t know where it came from but when he gave that sly little grin I started crying. Not happy or sad, don’t know what emotion that was but it was not an emotion I’ve felt before. Of course I take music very literal and analyze every last note sung. Every little idiosyncrasies the performer may have when saying the words. I don’t know what I do without TH-cam and being able to go back and watch these old videos. Good for the soul to remember easier times.
This was my grandpa’s favorite song. From the Blue Ridge Mountains, he was a cowboy, a paratrooper, a crane operator, and a helluva fisher and hunter. True salt of the earth.
just found this as a 23 year old german, i find this song extremely beautiful simply because of its sheer melancholic and benevolent vibe. I feel like it's a song of a generation, that may be long gone, but has formed the world we live in today. They might be dead, but their spirits will always be around, living and manifesting through their dear sons...
no not a generation gone just forgotten sometimes but like the songs you listen to and like .every time you here that song and think of someone that is not here in body .Their here. As long as you think of them they will be back again and again.
This song came out shortly after my father died with cancer. He told us that he would always be around. Those words in this song definitely touch my heart each time I hear it.
I lost my dad in 1976, when I was just 3 years old. I see the day that he died as time on the clock and think of him...and whenever I can see the moon in the blue sky on a bright sunny day! He liked to take pictures of the moon in the daytime.
Hello Brenda checkout hans wilhelm here on youtube its about spirituality our soul and is very uplifting. it gives you some strenght in difficult times.🤗
My 87yr old stepdad who just passed loved this song. Tough as nails old man who was born on a farm in 1933 , never graduated high school , served in the military and got a college degree , became a police officer and then started his own business and was a successful man. Taught me honor and respect and keeping your word. He didn’t take any shit but he made sure Shriners kids were taken care of.
This one is for Orio Palmer, Batallion 7 Chief of FDNY. I was a fire chief. Into the Towers I did go. And my fear I did not show, We looked for survivors among the smoke and all the flames, We refused to leave if someone still remained. And there we stayed until the Towers fell to the ground. But I am still around. Rest in peace, Chief Palmer. You are remembered.
Amen. That was a great eulogy, man. Brought tears to my eyes. All the rescue people that day, including ones who passed away that day or later from the poisonous air that lying officials claimed was safe to breathe; & the "lucky" ones who survived the horrors, but now have PTSD from that day, are heroes. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Those last few seconds, when Johnny is singing "and again, and again..." an he gives that little smile of his before his face turns solid always makes me feel sad, but also happy. Sad because we will never get to see him again, but happy knowing he's up there flying his "star ship".
Couldn't agree more. My father listened to Johnny Cash all the time when I was growing up, and I've come to love his music myself. We had the immense honor of meeting Johnny and his beautiful wife when they did a concert in Colorado during my teen years. I'm grateful my mother was there to get a photo of us together. I cherish that photo and cherish having met him. He was truly a class act, a true gentleman, and so down to Earth. This song holds a special place in my heart... always will.
*I was a sailor* *I was borne upon the tide* *And with the sea, I did abide* *I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico* *I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow* *And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed* *But I am living still...* Rest in Peace, Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 - September 28, 2024; 88 years old) 😭😭😭😭 you're now reunited with fellow Highwaymen Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. Please Lord do not take Willie from us. Vaya Con Dios. Rest In Peace, Whistler from Blade.
Just yesterday, at the ripe age of almost 50. I realized that this song being sung by some of the most outlaw of the country outlaws, is totally about the continuing existence of "ourselves". That the highway man, sailor, dam builder, and starship pilot are all the same entity. Although not knowing what it would be next, it knew it would be. The last verse is so powerful.
My husband passed away on the 4th of Oct 2021. And he is a highwayman. A gentle outlaw with a heart of gold with an unfinished task. He was too young to go at 43.
So sorry for your loss. 43 is way too young to go, I agree .. Hope you are doing OK My man died 8 years ago today. The pain eases at times and then can hit again as strong as the day he died.
Sorry for your loss and sumthin about the way u said a gentle outlaw gave me chills. Some people dont understand outlaws. Those who do and who are cant explain but sorry for your loss 😔
It's definitely a great song but it actually has the opposite effect on me, when I usually hear this song I start to hunt players with bounties on their head. Just driving around at high speeds in my dukes of death, I don't like to use the Mark II because that would be too easy and I like to give the Bounty an opportunity to fight back
My Grandfather was in the Air Force. He died 5 years ago, but he's still alive and with me. I'm just sad my kids never got to meet that incredible man.
That smile of Johnny Cash at the end gave me absolute goosebumps! Wow, what a powerful smile he had! Sometimes words don’t need to be spoke, a simple smile is enough
RIP Kris. I was at our small town fest on Saturday. It was so hot, there was a parade, games, the bars were selling hot dogs and beer, and a local band was to play later that night. After the parade we sat around, watched the kids run and play, pretty much the whole town was in this 2 block span. It was the first street fest there after a 30 year break no one knew the exact reason for. The old owner of the sales barn wanted it revived, and so it was. It was he, who to our delight, drove his tractor into town with these big speakers on a trailer behind. While we waited for the local band to play later that eve, old man Varner and his crew played all the best country and folk songs. We were kept entertained as he walked around shaking hands and visiting with old friends. I can imagine how proud he must have felt that he could achieve this once lost tradition! The Highwayman was one of the songs that played, and I remember thinking, oh I love this song, what memories were in my head of my dad singing along. It was like an earworm all day, stuck in head on Sunday too, the "again and again and again" playing over and over. I was shocked to see today that Kris was gone. How was it that day I was with so many, singing, celebrating, reminiscing? How do these things get tied together, the day, the song and the death, a coincidence was it? I guess so, or not, but it's curious, sad too, and poignant for sure.
This is one of the most important songs in human history as it documents the labor and pain. The realization the understanding of the energy of the human being.
My cousin also lost his battle with depression. His funeral was today and they played this song. If I remember right, this was the song he always said he wanted them to play on his funeral. Im sorry for your loss.
This song was my saving Grace on my first deployment and my introduction to Johnny Cash and county music in general. Because of this song I’m not either in jail and alive right now. I hope God blesses whoever is reading this.
Dedicated to my Daddy, one of the last true Highwaymen. They just don't make men like that anymore. I thank God for his knowledge, authenticity, memories, stories, and so much more being instilled in me as his flesh and blood. I love you Daddio. I'll always share the love of true Country music and listening to Vinyl. Pure Gold coming from the speakers of our Record Player. We lay his ashes to rest this Thursday April 15th 2021 in the East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, overlooking the beautifully majestic Holston River in Knoxville.
This always makes me tear up. I live real close to Waylon's grave,in Mesa,AZ. I live in Phoenix,and once a month (usually,unless I cant get out there) I take the bus out to where he is buried,and lay 4 quarters on his grave,taking up the previous 4 quarters. It's a tradition. He did a song that had the lyric saying that he was "so broke he was 4 quarters short of a dollar." It's to make sure he is never broke
Shiloh, in the song "Danny Boy" the father sings to his son: And I shall hear though soft you tread above me, and all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be. I hope Waylon's grave is all the warmer and sweeter as a result of your thoughtfulness.
My mother-in-law is buried in the same cemetery and we always pay homage to beloved Waylon's grave, as well, when we visit her resting place. Blessings to you.
My father passed in march of '85, a couple months after that I heard this masterpiece and ever since I find some solace in listening to it... it made me think that my dad isn't really gone, he's just on a new and different adventure and we may very well run into each other again some day.
This comment really touched me. My father passed in December 2022 and I strongly believe that we will cross paths again some day. I still feel his presence beside us when I walk in the countryside with my daughter
@@stevenbacon420 Absolutely. Paths will cross again, and you CAN feel people even when they are gone. Just a matter of time before you will be together again. Until then, enjoy!
Lost my dad 7/6/85 he suffered greatly from the effects of agent Orange and his time as a sniper& tunnel rat. Good God he's missed. My mom never dated she's 66 now has since buried her only son after finding him in his bedroom floor earlier this Year. Overdose.. smh such sadness. Must find a new way y'all we've obviously lost the war on drugs.
Just saw the concert on Pbs and it was great. Firsttime hearing it. Felt really good inside.Hard to have lived in America all your life and not love this.
NEW country music sucks. Every song is completely interchangeable, like they were written by AI to become radio hits for a few months and then never thought about again. This is not that by any means.
One of my best friends loved this song. He listened to it everyday. Last August he took his life do to depression. We played this song at his funeral. Not a dry eye in the building. He worked for the county highway for 40 years. During the winter we had to clean the roadways and he would always say a prayer over the radio for us. He ended the prayer Everytime with God always watches over the children and the highway men. Hearing this song brings him back to us. We miss you Jocko.
Your missing the point, it's about immortality and reincarnation so why would you be sad? 🤣🤣 We are all immortal spirits which is what the song is about!!
Thanks to whomever hit the thumbs up! Amazing that others still love these dudes music! I know my son did… for tattooed across his back, he breathed & lived the “Country Boy”…but sadly, “the bastards hung him in 2022”…But “he’ll be back”! Ride on!
I find it coincidental that in both Nelson and Kristoferson's verses, they remark how they are "still alive/living still," but in Jennings' and Cash's verses, they talk about how they are "still around/remaining;" it is almost as if the composition itself forecasted their deaths - thankfully we still have Willie and Kris with us.
I think my younger brother took some comfort from this song before he died from cancer five months after being diagnosed aged 35 in 2002, I think of him often and especially when I hear songs like this..
We played roll me up and smoke me when I die at my Dads funeral and I still have a hard time with that one. But… this song is deeper and should give u peace. I know my Dads soul is somewhere near me watching over. I’m sure your Dad is too. Otherwise they’re out there being Bad Asses! 🥰😜
I first heard this song in 1985 or so. Had an old convertible. Made a lot of money one day, got drunk, and sang this song at the top of my lungs over and over again driving in Silicon Valley. Later, I got to thinking about the lyrics and they stuck with me to this day. I'm 82. Maybe I'll come back "as a single drop of rain", but I'll always be around.
I recently discovered this song and I absolutely love it! I’ve always been a fan of Johnny Cash, but somehow I missed it all these years. Now I’m excited to explore the music of Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings
@@andrewferguson8032 i'm 37 and didn't start listening until a few years ago so i'm with you. I also just recently started to appreciate Hank Jr more too!
The last verse reminds me of my first husband. He was a fighter pilot in the Marines when we met. He died when we were only married 8 months. Til we meet again in heaven, my Dear.
I'm an European who has never been to US but I will always remember when I first heard this song while driving a car: every damn word was awakening a deep, almost painful longing and nostalgia for an unknown place I've never been to. And when Johnny sang his lines I burst into uncontrollable tears which lasted for good 15 minutes. It hit me so damn hard. There's something special about this song. It points beyond words.
@@palmwineguy There's some pretty big overlap there, I would say, but folk music isn't necessarily in the same genre as country music. Bluegrass and gospel music, for instance, would both probably qualify as folk music, but not necessarily country music, even though they use a lot of the same instrumentation and technique.
Not many songs can tell entire novel in just a few minutes like this one can. I couldn’t help but imagine the lives of these people visually in my head.
R.I.P Kris Kristofferson 1936-2024! I was a sailor I was born upon the tide And with the sea, I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still
I was a highwayman Along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive I was a sailor I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still I was a dam builder Across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around and around and around and around and around I fly a starship Across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again
We play this song in Ireland, at the funerals of those legends whom lost their lives young. RIP all the faithful departed. God bless Ireland & God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 ☘️ 🦅 🇮🇪 We cannot be defeated, even in death.
When I first heard this I was like "Come on, where's Johnny"......... "I FLY A STARSHIP" "Ohhhhh, there he is". One of the most distinctive voices ever

Rest in peace
This song isn't long enough. A definite masterpiece.
It's beautiful
simple and haunting
Yes
Best comment on this song I've heard. You took the words out of my brain.

RIP Waylon Jennings
RIP Johnny Cash
Edit: RIP Kris Kristofferson
Three legends gone but will always be remembered
General Patton they’ll be back according to their song 😊
alamamagator ya lets hope so
General Patton we’ve lost too many country legends, Waylon, Cash, Merle, Kenny, Hank Williams Sr., Daryle Singletary
Love the name patton ❤
F
I played this song for a few friends. None of them liked it. Clearly, I need new friends.
Clearly
Your friends should get cultured
No just still stick with the same ones
YES
They re dumb...sry bro
Johnny's line always gives me a chill.... "and when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can - perhaps I will become a Highwayman again. Or I may simply be a single drop of rain... but I will remain and I'll be back again".
Damn.
What made me love this song too, I hope to rest the spirit
@@TJ-cj3ol no Willie Nelson’s line is absolutely the best part
I get goosebumps, every single time I hear it!
I lost my dad in March. I so so hope he is still around. I miss him endlessly. He had a life long passion for Country. Dolly, George Willie, Johnny and Merle his favourites

Long live the last outlaw and a highwayman, Willie Nelson.
Gives me goosebumps now to hear Willie sing "I am still alive."
The Highwaymen, four of the greatest singers of all time. The very best of the best. We've lost them all except Willie. Keep the tunes coming Willie, we love you dearly. Johnny, Waylon & Kris are now playing & singing for a higher power. We love y'all & miss y'all. Thanks for all the great music & The movie "Stagecoach" an awesome movie & some awesome acting! 😔
Marijuana is keeping Willie around!!
There will be a few more puffy smoke clouds in the sky when Willie goes..
The way johnny cash says " and again and again and again" with a slight sly smile on fis face is so ominously beautiful.
Its like he already knows he will never truly leave us, even in death
None of them left us
My dad was in the Vietnam war. He was in the Navy; Later he became a truck driver and had me. I listened to this song when I was 3 or 4 inside his 18 wheeler.... I miss him so much... This song will always be in my heart.
Don’t worry, he’ll be back again and again and again 😉
I think of my father who is gone too when i hear this song, they never left, they are in us.+
Ay man Im sorry to hear that. But RIP to his soul.
Peace to you.

My pops was 101st over there but you and me had similar upbringing in those rigs
And I'll listen to this song again...

I feel you brother. Some of the people I was closest too listening when this album came out,, are no longer here. Much like The Highway Men themselves.
It’s official. Willie is now the last outlaw! RIP Kris Kristofferson! 😔
This is what brought me here tonight.
😢😔🌹
Nah… As the song says, he is living still… Immortal!
I'll keep the outlaws alive 😤
😢😢😢R.I.P. , master!
Today is my Dad’s birthday.
He would’ve been 80 today.
But he is still alive.
And one day I’ll be riding by his side again.
I miss you Dad.
He is still alive.
❤❤ love for you
He will be back again, and again...My dad introduced me to this music, and I fell for it, even though we are germans. He now suffers from cancer. And soon he will fly a starship to the universe. But they will always be back again, will always be on our side.
Mine died in my arms at the age of 94 July 2nd 2024. He was the most intelligent and wisest man I knew. 2 days later I was napping on the couch at 10 am sleep deprived.
He came to me in my dream the house was as it really is and he was only in his shorts like he used to be while reading in the living room.
I remember it like it was so real I stammered “how you died” he hugged me and told me “it’s okay Keir everything’s okay”
Then I woke up but I wasn’t surprised or astounded I just accepted that everything is okay and life is how it should be.
Same here my dad also would've been 80 on July 15th but past away in 2015 miss him very much
I’ve always wished there were 12 more verses to this song.
J Warthen It is one of those songs that you wish would never end.
what does the ill fly a starship part mean
Great song...are u talking 12 more singers or repeat of the four?
Dillan Versai hadn’t thought about it. Maybe 12 more singers too. That adds to the feel of it being a different person but the same soul.
I was a TH-camr...but I couldn't get any views...I even tried to break the news...I stuttered words from a script that I read; my last subscriber was only in my head...I finally did a conspiracy video..they banned me long ago...but I'll always be a troll, be a troll, be a troll, be a troll....
'...they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound...'
Waylon's voice truly captures the haunting depth of those words. Hands down my fav verse.
Da Wa
Bruh I deadass read this as he said “they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound” btw your opinion is so right Waylon’s voice soothes song like a baby
Da Wa mines too
This verse may have been what attached me to this song for the rest of this life. I just love the visual, historical storytelling patched into a metaphysical shared lifecycle of reincarnation.
These dudes will always be around, and around, and around. They are a huge piece of Americana, man.
Man you ain't lying
My dad was born in 78, i was born in 96 and we were drinking and sang this song word for word and I couldn't help but shed a tear. This song is beautiful.
It is, sounds like you and your father had a wonderful moment in time.
A unique and deep moment for sure.
Hell yeah man, That’s sounds like a good time to me. Having a drink with tha pops.
these moments we will cherish forever.
I promise you that is a memory you will have the rest of your life. Hang on to those!!!!
Love when Johnny gives that smile at the end, almost reassurance that he will indeed be back again, and again, and again, and again.
He's welcome back anytime!
Jeff Sullivan, I don’t know how to feel about that statement.
@@vaughnl70 I grew up with Johnny Cash. Our household had a lot of different music. Johnny was right beside Dionne Warwick , the Supremes and Chet Atkins and Hank Snow were played right after Stevie Wonder et Al lol
I know it’s silly and I don’t know where it came from but when he gave that sly little grin I started crying. Not happy or sad, don’t know what emotion that was but it was not an emotion I’ve felt before. Of course I take music very literal and analyze every last note sung. Every little idiosyncrasies the performer may have when saying the words. I don’t know what I do without TH-cam and being able to go back and watch these old videos. Good for the soul to remember easier times.
Literally felt like shedding a tear
This was my grandpa’s favorite song. From the Blue Ridge Mountains, he was a cowboy, a paratrooper, a crane operator, and a helluva fisher and hunter. True salt of the earth.
God save our country, but we need more men life him, but they are gone.
More are reverting back to the old ways, society is an inversion of truth, walk away, aho
love those blue ridge mountains, in Texas now, but man the fun times I had up there, God bless you, and your grandpa
My kinda guy.
I’m from up in the blue ridge mountains. He sounds like a great guy
Rip to Waylon, Johnny and Now Kris 😢 🕊️ Legends Never Die.
just found this as a 23 year old german, i find this song extremely beautiful simply because of its sheer melancholic and benevolent vibe.
I feel like it's a song of a generation, that may be long gone, but has formed the world we live in today.
They might be dead, but their spirits will always be around, living and manifesting through their dear sons...
Well put!
We are still here, And you are too, this is our identity
You always had a way with words, Well said !
2 of em are still alive!
Willie & Kris
no not a generation gone just forgotten sometimes but like the songs you listen to and like .every time you here that song and think of someone that is not here in body .Their here. As long as you think of them they will be back again and again.
This song came out shortly after my father died with cancer. He told us that he would always be around. Those words in this song definitely touch my heart each time I hear it.
I lost my dad in 1976, when I was just 3 years old. I see the day that he died as time on the clock and think of him...and whenever I can see the moon in the blue sky on a bright sunny day! He liked to take pictures of the moon in the daytime.
@@mr.intensity2685 Such a beautiful remembrance of your father. My condolences on losing him at such a young age.
God bless!
Yea com back
Hello Brenda checkout hans wilhelm here on youtube its about spirituality our soul and is very uplifting. it gives you some strenght in difficult times.🤗
Waylon’s “I’ll always be around” makes me want to cry
These men have voices of gold
I cry everytime. Hard time performing this one alive. But I'll try.
Cry then poosy
His energy will always be around. Energy can not die
rip peep @@xxxgames4458
Rip Kris!!! Only one of the highwaymen left!!! Good old Willie!!
The fact that Johnny's part is last makes it so much more epic, his voice is something else.
Very true. One of the greats. May he rest in peace.
I have a weakness for Willie.
the fact Johny cash was in the air force makes his part so much more badass
"back problems"
smokin weed wit willie is a learning
experience not for the weak
i had no clue, that is badass
There are only 2 services: Army and Navy. The Air Force is a corporation, and the Martine Corp is a cult.
And the Navy is really just sailors, not soldiers...
My 87yr old stepdad who just passed loved this song. Tough as nails old man who was born on a farm in 1933 , never graduated high school , served in the military and got a college degree , became a police officer and then started his own business and was a successful man. Taught me honor and respect and keeping your word. He didn’t take any shit but he made sure Shriners kids were taken care of.
Willie Nelson was born in 1933
At the end of the day, all a real man has is his word.....my Grandfather taught me that very early in my life

Goodbye Kris Kristofferson Thank you for the music I'm 62 yrs .my son 35 loved your music also
This one is for Orio Palmer, Batallion 7 Chief of FDNY.
I was a fire chief.
Into the Towers I did go.
And my fear I did not show,
We looked for survivors among the smoke and all the flames,
We refused to leave if someone still remained.
And there we stayed until the Towers fell to the ground.
But I am still around.
Rest in peace, Chief Palmer. You are remembered.
Amen. That was a great eulogy, man. Brought tears to my eyes. All the rescue people that day, including ones who passed away that day or later from the poisonous air that lying officials claimed was safe to breathe; & the "lucky" ones who survived the horrors, but now have PTSD from that day, are heroes. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Amazing. Add it to the song.
Two days ago those great towers went down, 343 we never forget
Sorry about that
This is beautiful. I am always moved and amazed at his story, he will never be forgotten.
Those last few seconds, when Johnny is singing "and again, and again..." an he gives that little smile of his before his face turns solid always makes me feel sad, but also happy. Sad because we will never get to see him again, but happy knowing he's up there flying his "star ship".
Couldn't agree more. My father listened to Johnny Cash all the time when I was growing up, and I've come to love his music myself. We had the immense honor of meeting Johnny and his beautiful wife when they did a concert in Colorado during my teen years. I'm grateful my mother was there to get a photo of us together. I cherish that photo and cherish having met him. He was truly a class act, a true gentleman, and so down to Earth. This song holds a special place in my heart... always will.
I was just about to comment on that lovely smile of Johnny's! What a classic :)
I'm not crying i'm not crying i'm not... i'am crying... rip to legends like him!🙏❤️
you will see him again in heaven if god wills it.
Reminds me of my late grandfather. Alvin Benson was the best American made man this beautiful country had to offer.
Willie: "I was a highwayman."
Kris: "I was a sailor."
Waylon: "I was a dam builder."
Cash: "I FLY A STARSHIP." *EXPLOSION*
XELA GAMING good for you?

He flew a fuckin starship...
Well it wasn't an explosion but alright then.
*I was a sailor*
*I was borne upon the tide*

*I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico*

Rest in Peace, Kristoffer Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 - September 28, 2024; 88 years old) 😭😭😭😭 you're now reunited with fellow Highwaymen Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings. Please Lord do not take Willie from us. Vaya Con Dios. Rest In Peace, Whistler from Blade.
Just yesterday, at the ripe age of almost 50. I realized that this song being sung by some of the most outlaw of the country outlaws, is totally about the continuing existence of "ourselves". That the highway man, sailor, dam builder, and starship pilot are all the same entity. Although not knowing what it would be next, it knew it would be.
The last verse is so powerful.
As the wise men once said that "perhaps one soul manifesting itself in many different conquests".
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....
@@apotato6278 Trump is cute....built good...

I'll be listening to this, again, again, and again.

Yes, Yes, Yes...
Yup
My husband passed away on the 4th of Oct 2021. And he is a highwayman. A gentle outlaw with a heart of gold with an unfinished task. He was too young to go at 43.
So sorry for your loss. 43 is way too young to go, I agree .. Hope you are doing OK
My man died 8 years ago today. The pain eases at times and then can hit again as strong as the day he died.
That's just awful. I hope you're doing okay nowadays.
Blessings and regards to you in these times,Roy.. Australia
Sorry for your loss and sumthin about the way u said a gentle outlaw gave me chills. Some people dont understand outlaws. Those who do and who are cant explain but sorry for your loss 😔
But im still around ill always be around
Lost another Highwayman. RIP Kris.

I accidentally left Rebel Radio on in GTA and heard this.
AMAZING MASTERPIECE!
The most calm song ever.
""Accidentally"" lol
Same XD
Awesome man
Rebel radio is a masterpiece
It's definitely a great song but it actually has the opposite effect on me, when I usually hear this song I start to hunt players with bounties on their head. Just driving around at high speeds in my dukes of death, I don't like to use the Mark II because that would be too easy and I like to give the Bounty an opportunity to fight back
Wait did we all just have the sudden urge to listen to this song?
...yes... idk why but i just felt the need to.what does this mean
Yes
I saw a jimmy kimmel video with willie nelson
A gta heist makes me sing it every time for some reason
I don't know how you know
Only one remains. RIP Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson 🕊️🙏
My Grandfather was in the Air Force. He died 5 years ago, but he's still alive and with me. I'm just sad my kids never got to meet that incredible man.
You will all see him again eventually.
My grandfather passed last year a couple weeks before my birthday and he was also an airman, a different breed of man, that’s for damn sure.
He is with you all, my brother. I assure you.
I agree a hero he lived in the real world as it was when humans had good manners and everyone was kind always have a great life always
They can meet the best parts of him- through you.
Be the person Grandpa wanted you to be.
Stay safe out there.
That smile of Johnny Cash at the end gave me absolute goosebumps! Wow, what a powerful smile he had! Sometimes words don’t need to be spoke, a simple smile is enough
Felt the same Dude... as if I knew
I read your comment and looked up to see the smile. ❤️
Yea sometimes its better not to say anything
I was thinking that exact thing
He knows
the way it ends with johnny cash singing “i’ll be back again and again and again and again” it’s just too good. hits my soul man.
Honestly
Same
RIP Kris. I was at our small town fest on Saturday. It was so hot, there was a parade, games, the bars were selling hot dogs and beer, and a local band was to play later that night. After the parade we sat around, watched the kids run and play, pretty much the whole town was in this 2 block span. It was the first street fest there after a 30 year break no one knew the exact reason for. The old owner of the sales barn wanted it revived, and so it was. It was he, who to our delight, drove his tractor into town with these big speakers on a trailer behind. While we waited for the local band to play later that eve, old man Varner and his crew played all the best country and folk songs. We were kept entertained as he walked around shaking hands and visiting with old friends. I can imagine how proud he must have felt that he could achieve this once lost tradition! The Highwayman was one of the songs that played, and I remember thinking, oh I love this song, what memories were in my head of my dad singing along. It was like an earworm all day, stuck in head on Sunday too, the "again and again and again" playing over and over. I was shocked to see today that Kris was gone. How was it that day I was with so many, singing, celebrating, reminiscing? How do these things get tied together, the day, the song and the death, a coincidence was it? I guess so, or not, but it's curious, sad too, and poignant for sure.
This is one of the most important songs in human history as it documents the labor and pain. The realization the understanding of the energy of the human being.
You get what most people don’t. This song is about the eternal pioneering spirit.
It’s one of my favorite songs. And I’m only 13! Jimmy Webb wrote it and Glen Campbell rearranged it into a song. Their two great songwriters.

Dedicated to my Daddy, one of the last true Highwaymen. They just don't make men like that anymore. I thank God for his knowledge, authenticity, memories, stories, and so much more being instilled in me as his flesh and blood. I love you Daddio. I'll always share the love of true Country music and listening to Vinyl. Pure Gold coming from the speakers of our Record Player. We lay his ashes to rest this Thursday April 15th 2021 in the East Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery, overlooking the beautifully majestic Holston River in Knoxville.

So sorry to read that... God bless u..
We will lose our fathers soon or later.. I hope that we will be ready to that day
r.i.p you father
This always makes me tear up. I live real close to Waylon's grave,in Mesa,AZ. I live in Phoenix,and once a month (usually,unless I cant get out there) I take the bus out to where he is buried,and lay 4 quarters on his grave,taking up the previous 4 quarters. It's a tradition. He did a song that had the lyric saying that he was "so broke he was 4 quarters short of a dollar." It's to make sure he is never broke
Shiloh, in the song "Danny Boy" the father sings to his son: And I shall hear though soft you tread above me, and all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be.
I hope Waylon's grave is all the warmer and sweeter as a result of your thoughtfulness.
My mother-in-law is buried in the same cemetery and we always pay homage to beloved Waylon's grave, as well, when we visit her resting place. Blessings to you.
@@SunKissedKrissy:
Blessings to you as well. Perhaps one day we'll meet up there by accident. :}
Oh my gosh. Thank you for your beautiful kindness.
That’s a nice thing to do. He’d appreciate that
Rest in Peace, Kris. Thank you for the music that you left us.
My father passed in march of '85, a couple months after that I heard this masterpiece and ever since I find some solace in listening to it... it made me think that my dad isn't really gone, he's just on a new and different adventure and we may very well run into each other again some day.
Beautiful comment. ♥
This comment really touched me. My father passed in December 2022 and I strongly believe that we will cross paths again some day. I still feel his presence beside us when I walk in the countryside with my daughter
@@stevenbacon420 Absolutely. Paths will cross again, and you CAN feel people even when they are gone. Just a matter of time before you will be together again. Until then, enjoy!
as well as my dad who died in 85...
Lost my dad 7/6/85 he suffered greatly from the effects of agent Orange and his time as a sniper& tunnel rat. Good God he's missed. My mom never dated she's 66 now has since buried her only son after finding him in his bedroom floor earlier this Year. Overdose.. smh such sadness. Must find a new way y'all we've obviously lost the war on drugs.
One of the few songs that consistently gives me chills every single time I listen to it.
Meet too!!!!!!
Could not agree more
I’m happy I’m not the only one, so crazy
Holy crap, same... Like past memories
Same.
at the end when johnny cash says "I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again" while hes smiling brought chills to my spine. RIP Johnny
Scuffed Jays he’ll remain a legend

Just saw the concert on Pbs and it was great. Firsttime hearing it. Felt really good inside.Hard to have lived in America all your life and not love this.
These four guys are irreplaceable icons. But there’s a fifth highwayman -Jimmy Webb, the guy who wrote it! Kudos
Ghostwriters are that (Ghosts)
@@NR-gp2ilI was hoping someone would mention Jimmy Webb, the writer of this exquisite vehicle. TY
Songs like this are why it's infuriating to hear people say "country music sucks". Arguably one of the best songs ever written.
People probably mean modern country is bad. (It is) This is not corporate consumerism country. This is the real deal. Music from the soul.
New country sucks ass
Some people think Jason Aldean is the only country musician.
Country music does suck, but this isn’t exactly country music. Any song with Johnny cash has a Little Rock and roll in it.
NEW country music sucks. Every song is completely interchangeable, like they were written by AI to become radio hits for a few months and then never thought about again. This is not that by any means.
One of my best friends loved this song. He listened to it everyday. Last August he took his life do to depression. We played this song at his funeral. Not a dry eye in the building. He worked for the county highway for 40 years. During the winter we had to clean the roadways and he would always say a prayer over the radio for us. He ended the prayer Everytime with God always watches over the children and the highway men. Hearing this song brings him back to us. We miss you Jocko.
What a beautiful story with a tragic ending. I hope the song came true for your friend.
I’m sorry about your friend, may he RIP.
August 10 was the day it happened. It's been a year already and we talk about him everyday. Thank you all for the kind words.
@@383MASSEY1 so sorry, hope you are well
@Sixth Echelon his name was Jocko Wiley.
Another Highwayman has gone to join his brothers in the stars. They’ll play in heaven and ride among the cosmos forever. Rest in peace.
this song is testament to man's need for adventure and to better himself, whether through good or "evil" methods. a true masterpiece.
It sounds to me more like a song about reincarnation.
@@krisnorge5830 that's what the song is supposed to be about, spot on.
Keegan Bowes ummm, that’s not what Johnny said when I asked him. But whatever blows your skirt up Pal
@@barefootroofer What'd he tell you?
Sounds like the lessons conveyed in a book I read, Siddartha.
Always brings a tear to my eye, all those who came before, all that will come after, we all have a story to tell.
Me too. I get teary. I heard it in a restaurant in Texas recently and started getting all teary and had to put my sunglasses on.
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song! It is a MASTERPIECE in its feeling and simplicity to me.
I love each one yet Willie and Johny move me so very much.
Y'all let me know if this rings a bell for anyone out there...

Your missing the point, it's about immortality and reincarnation so why would you be sad? 🤣🤣 We are all immortal spirits which is what the song is about!!

@@deborahiwck8016 I, a motherless son, offer my humble condolences to you on losing your son. No mother should have to suffer that
Rest easy Mr Kris Kristofferson. Perhaps you'll be a highway man again and again and again and again❤
I find it coincidental that in both Nelson and Kristoferson's verses, they remark how they are "still alive/living still," but in Jennings' and Cash's verses, they talk about how they are "still around/remaining;" it is almost as if the composition itself forecasted their deaths - thankfully we still have Willie and Kris with us.
That’s a really good point dude
Well now that is quite the connection. Hmmmm
I never gave it a thought. You are right it is strange. Interesting.
Yikes my guy your really gonna hate to hear about Kris
Agreed
I think my younger brother took some comfort from this song before he died from cancer five months after being diagnosed aged 35 in 2002, I think of him often and especially when I hear songs like this..
there are no words of comfort that can be said losing someone to cancer, im truly Ms.
it reminds me of losing my own mother to that hideous cancer
sorry .
I'm sorry 😔
Condolences. Lost my brother 4 yrs ago.
Played this at my dad's funeral. Not sure if I'll ever be able to listen to the whole thing again.
Something that is useful to remember is that your ancestors legacies are in you. you just need to honor those around you and you honor them.
@Willie Nelson fake. don’t do this.
I lost a friend or two. This song makes me feel better. Maybe give it another try
Maybe not today, but one day !
We played roll me up and smoke me when I die at my Dads funeral and I still have a hard time with that one. But… this song is deeper and should give u peace. I know my Dads soul is somewhere near me watching over. I’m sure your Dad is too. Otherwise they’re out there being Bad Asses! 🥰😜
RIP Kris Kristofferson. Legendary career. Thanks for the music. 🙏
The song is masterpiece. I'm glad Willie and Kristofferson are still with us. RIP Johnny, Waylon, and Kris!
Willie: 'Lets smoke the good stuff!"
Kris: 'Lets Drink the good stuff!'

I would wear that on a t-shirt 😂😂😂
Yeah I want to put that on a shirt and if people get it I know they have decent taste in music
I first heard this song in 1985 or so. Had an old convertible. Made a lot of money one day, got drunk, and sang this song at the top of my lungs over and over again driving in Silicon Valley. Later, I got to thinking about the lyrics and they stuck with me to this day. I'm 82. Maybe I'll come back "as a single drop of rain", but I'll always be around.

I'm an European who has never been to US but I will always remember when I first heard this song while driving a car: every damn word was awakening a deep, almost painful longing and nostalgia for an unknown place I've never been to. And when Johnny sang his lines I burst into uncontrollable tears which lasted for good 15 minutes. It hit me so damn hard. There's something special about this song. It points beyond words.
That's what good country music can do for you... I was folding laundry today and my playlist definitely gave me a song that made some eye water 😢
@@timnor4803 Beautiful song indeed. But isnt this more folk music? I didnt know this was country music - I'm asking not challenging.
@@palmwineguy There's some pretty big overlap there, I would say, but folk music isn't necessarily in the same genre as country music. Bluegrass and gospel music, for instance, would both probably qualify as folk music, but not necessarily country music, even though they use a lot of the same instrumentation and technique.
yes, i dont know how to describe this but your description is good
Bending Genres , as all great artists tend to do 🔥
Rest in peace Kris Kristofferson. Legends never really die. You and your fellow highwaymen shall never be forgotten

I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around and around and around and around and around
I fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again
